Having problems with your Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T900 Digital Camera ?

When I slide the cover down to turn the camera on, nothing happens. The battery if fully charged. I recently removed the memory stick and printed some pictures from it. But other than that, nothing has changed. It has not been dropped or damaged. It simply does not respond.

LCD/Recording Picture When I take a picture, the camera will only record about 1/4 of the picture on the LCD screen, then rest of the image is black. I was taking lots of pictures before that and the image recorded on the LCD. All of a sudden (in the mdidle of taking lots of pictures), I noticed the the whole image was not recording. I have changed the battery, changed Compact Flash Cards and nothing corrects it. Even when I upload the picture to the computer, the image is only one about 1/4

I was at a basketball game last night and taking pictures with the d80 and the 55-200 lens. All of the pictures I took in auto focus were blurry. I changed it to the S mode with shutter speed at 4000 and those pictures came out completely dark with nothing in the picture. I changed the setting to the sports mode and the shutter speed is not fast enough because I have the same issue with blurring or out of focus.

Nikon D80 Digital Camera with 18-135mm Lens

I turn the camera on, the Canon image comes up along with various icons, but there is no picture in the viewer - and when I take a picture I get nothing. It's like the lens remains covered. Is this a setting that is somehow changed? I reset - but no change. I can view pictures on the card, so it's not the display. I can also view settings - just not any picture.

This sounds like it might be a defective CCD imager. If so, Canon should fix this for you for free, including free shipping both ways. This is regardless of your camera's warranty status. ...

Not focusing I'm not sure what happened, nothing seems to be obstructing and to my extent of knowledge nothing has happened to my camera. However when I turn it on the lens comes out once, goes back in, and comes out again. Then the screen is blank, shows no picture until i push the play button, or until I change what picture setting it is on. Once the screen shows picture it will not focus anything. Any help here?

Do you hear any unusual friction noise while the lens assembly projects out.. if so then the traction assembly of your zoom barrel has developed mechanical obstruction, in which case it has to be serviced. Take it to the service centre and the proble ...

Just quit working. I took pictures with it then cut it off and a few minutes picked it up to take more pictures and when I cut it on nothing happened. First thing I did was change batteries but still nothing. I don't understand it. It wasn't dropped or anything, it just quit.

Menu Problem I can take photo's fine, and i get my normal preview on the LCD but when i push the menu button or try play back my images - nothing happens. In fact every button except the wheel/power on off and the "take photo" button is not working??? Nothing i press will work except to take pictures? help! It is brand new, got it two weeks ago and everything was working fine. And nothing happened to it, and i changed nothing.

Did you try calling Canon tech support or returning to retailer if the camera is really not functioning properly this soon after purchase, I'd try returning it once all troubleshooting issues have not resolved the issue.\015\012\015\012Ho ...

I have an Olympus FE-330 The problem I am having is when I take pictures at night, focusing on anything is impossible. The view shows black, until the picture is taken. After the picture has been taken it shows a great view of the picture in the screen. Even changing the setting to night, does nothing-it's black I honestly was thinking of replacing the camera for this reason, it is very frustrating. Other than that, it is a great little camera.

Take a flashlight with you and shine it on what you want to focus. Press the shutter half-way, shut off the flashlight and press the rest of the way. ...

My DSC-H9 will not display stored pictures or video. When I push the button to switch from picture taking to picture viewing it shuts off. Changed battery, memory stick, did "reboot", pulled battery for 30 seconds. Nothing made any difference. I can plug in to PC and view or pull pictures off. It's like the mode button is also a power button.

When I am trying to take a picture the viewer is blank, it is black and shows nothing. When I switch it to look at the picture the viewer works again and I can see the picture I have taken. Have i changed some setting by accident?

When I turn on my Dimage E500, I get a blank black screen. I can review the old pictures taken on my memory card through my camera with no problems. I just cant take new pictures and if I try the pictures come out black like the screen. I have changed my batteries and memory card but nothing has helped. Please help me.
Thank you

We have a Casio EX-Z150. It was working fine, while taking pictures it suddenly froze with the last picture on the screen. It would not change pictures, modes, on/off , nothing. We took the batteries out and put back, it allowed us to turn on but no other functions. The battery appears to be fully charged. Any ideas?

The problem is not the batteries. This is a common problem for most digital devices. But for how long did you take the batteries out? Take the batteries out for about 10 minutes. If this did not resolve the problem, then the issue has som ...

I have a Canon PowerShot S31S. 2 problems I am having.
1. I am unable to get my card out. I believe that the white side protector that slides has broke. I can eject it, but can't pull it out.
2. Wanting my pictures, I hooked up my USB cord to the camera to computer, but forgot to shut off camera. Now my camera won't turn on. Tried taking out batteries for a period of time, nothing. Changed batteries nothing.
Any help would be greatful.

If you see some text or icons on the LCD but no live shot, the LCD is good but most likely your CCD sensor is out. This is a manufacturer defect and will be covered free by Nikon even if it is out of it's original warranty. Go here for the Nikon li ...

Could something in the camera settings have changed.
